Ravi Menon reappointed as managing director of MAS

Senior Advisor Goh Chok Tong is stepping down from his position.

Contrary to earlier rumors, Ravi Menon is being reappointed as managing director of Singapore’s central bank for a two-year term at least.

“Mr. Menon will serve as Managing Director until 31 May 2025 or his retirement from the Singapore Public Service, whichever is earlier,” the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in a statement.

Media reports from earlier in April speculated that Menon was poised to step down from his position, even naming Chia Der Jiun as his possible successor as chief of Singapore's central bank.

Lucien Wong, attorney general; and Chaly Mah, chairman of NetLink NBN Management, have been reappointed to the MAS board for three more years, until 31 May 2026.

Mah has also been reappointed as chairman of the audit committee for the same duration, MAS said.

Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, meanwhile, will be stepping down from his position as senior advisor to MAS on 21 May.

Goh, who has served as senior advisor since May 2011, previously served as chairman of the MAS board from 20 August 2004.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
